Do you suffer from overwhelm or feeling like you’re a chicken with your head cut?

Here’s what I do when I’m feeling like I’m drowning.

It’s called present awareness where you being mindful of where you are.

Stop and take a breath.
Listen to the sounds around you.
Smell the smells.

The human mind likes to be stuck in the past or worry about the what ifs of the future.

I meditate on God’s Word and an instant peace passes over me!

I share more about this and mindset in my FB group: Rise Above the Struggles!

Working on my mindset has been such a huge help to overcoming anxiety!

Check out my group!!☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Do you practice present awareness?

Stop the mindless scroll!🛑 What if I told you

Stop the mindless scroll!🛑

What if I told you your rashes, asthma, or respiratory problems could be linked to your daily products?

I know, it sounds almost unbelievable. I mean stores can’t sell us stuff that makes us sick.

That would be heartless and evil. Or could they?🥺

Here’s the truth: personal care products and other household products aren’t regulated. Many of the products in these stores have chemicals inside that are known to cause a lot of harm.

Think asthma. Infertility. Cancer. And so many other problems.

Did you know there was an act established in 1976 that allowed companies to grandfather in their chemicals even if since then they are known to cause cancer?

Did you just read that??😳😳😳

If a chemical causes cancer and it’s known to cause cancer. It can still be in our products.🫣

Here’s the deal: so many people say it’s fine. “I have asthma but know 3 other friends who have it too.”

Here’s a kick in the pants: It’s normal because it’s common.

However: 🚨🚨🚨🚨Common isn’t equal to normal.

The products we use daily shouldn’t cause us to be sick. We shouldn’t get cancer from our body lotion. We shouldn’t be infertile because our body spray is used every day.

If this doesn’t make you mad…

You want the best health so paying attention to your products is non-negotiable!

Head up ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻to my guide up above!! And share and save this reel with your friends!💜💜

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you ate one apple and you were healthy the rest of your life?

While that would be cool, health doesn’t work that way.

It’s intentional actions every day.

So many people want to be healthy but they aren’t willing to make changes.

They don’t want to ditch the processed foods, the sugar, exercise every day, get good sleep, etc.

But yet they feel terrible.

It doesn’t have to be hard, actually becoming healthy is quite easy when you’re intentional.

Are you anxious when you wake up?

I know during my most anxious season, mornings seemed really hard.

It really bothered me until I looked into it more!

Sharing with you what I have learned!

Here are some tips for you:

Experts say there can be many reasons for this early morning anxiety.

• Going through the night without eating can cause blood sugar to plummet, and the anxious bodily feelings can be simply due to low blood sugar.

• The same goes for low hydration; not drinking for the whole night can also cause symptoms similar to those of anxiety.

• Poor sleep isn’t conducive to feeling our best, and tension and extra stress can be present when we’ve been up more than we’ve slept.

• What we eat can also make a difference with anxiety symptoms.

• Being tense could also be due to the fact that we were in a relaxed state of sleep and now are jarred awake without a slow transition.

• Cortisol can also have an effect on our body in the morning.

• Negative past experiences can also cause anxious mornings.

• What we eat can affect us also. Caffeine and anxiety don’t mix well.

So the reality is: if you’re anxious in the morning, there might be many different scenarios going on.

Have you ever dealt with morning anxiety?

You’re a mom. A busy mom!

I get you! I have 5 kids and most days I can’t fit anything else in.

When you want to start a new habit it’s hard. You forget.

You fall off and need to restart again and again!

🛑 right here and let me tell you that’s normal!

Only through trying and tweaking do we eventually get it right!

Here’s a tip when starting a new habit, pair it with something you are already doing.

My husband started a new regimen for his high blood pressure and needs to take a supplement (which he forgets daily!)

I suggested he put his supplement container by the coffee machine. He makes a cup of coffee daily so adding on taking his supplement then has a greater chance of being successful!

If you’re stuck in life, listen up!

Our thinking is huge and if we are stuck, most likely our thinking of stuck too!

I get this!

I was stuck for a few years believing that my anxiety would dictate my life.

Once I learned how powerful my thoughts are everything changed. I was no longer stuck.

Anxiety could still be present but how I thought about it made all the difference.

You see how you think determines your feelings which determine your behavior and actions and ultimately your life.

Stuck life = stuck thoughts.

And just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true!🤯🤯🤯

Friend, you can overcome whatever you’re dealing with. Start working on your thoughts!

We moms do a lot and there’s no time to be dragging.
Amiright?

How do we get enough sleep, practice self care, and have the energy to show up every day?

The problem is when we are dragging, we tend to put not so good things into our bodies.

Snacking on carbs.
Energy drinks which are loaded with caffeine and lots of sugar.

This in turn harms our hormones, makes us put on weight, and most likely prevents us from getting a restful night of sleep.

It’s a viscous cycle that we have a hard time leaving because we don’t have the time to be tired and low on energy.

I get this. I’m a mom to 5.

I found something that helps me with energy and it supports my body and my brain!

If you’ve never heard of Ningxia Red, reach out for a sample.

This amazing whole food supplement supports the body and helps with energy levels ( a study was just done that proved this!)

Let’s be real, what’s your favorite chip when you’re tired and have the munchies!

And our bodies are being filled up with toxins.

Do you know what is one of the most toxic products in your home?

We can do better for ourselves and our kids.

Our homes can be the safe, toxin-free environments where people feel their best!

If this is new to you, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Taking a few baby steps will help your whole family’s health both right now and in the future!🤩

Ten years I wasted going from doctor to doctor. Given handful of pills but I kept feeling worse and worse.

It was the hardest season of my life.

Maybe you’ve been there or maybe you’re right through dealing with symptoms and you’re desperate too. (Like I was!)

I want to first tell you to not give up! You aren’t meant to feel lousy!💜

You can feel better and get back to the life you so desperately want to show up for!

Your life can be filled with energy, joy, and happiness again!

I saw a post one day and I believe God lead me to finding something that I probably would have never tried.

I was scared I blew a bunch of money.

I thought yeah right, I just got scammed.

But then the other part of my brain said, what if this is what you’ve been looking for.

That what if was too big to not try this whole new way.

And I started a journey and I felt better slowly but surely!

Those 10 years were difficult but looking back, I grew so much, found my voice, and I have realized that healing happens in so many different ways!

Natural products do work and I am a testimony to that!

What is something you’re trying but it seems scary? Comment below so I can cheer you on!

Are you struggling right now?

Maybe you feel like God doesn’t see you?

Have you asked God why this is happening to you?

I don’t have those answers for you (so many times I wish I had the answers to my own struggles!)

But I do know that God is good!

Flip through the pages of Scripture and see his goodness!

I challenge you to share this with a friend who is going through a hard time to encourage them!!💜💜

Can I be honest?

We used to never have weeds at our previous house because we used Round Up! 🤢

But learning that it is a known carcinogen wasn’t something I wanted used around my lawn!

⭐️We have babies and fur babies outside and we want it to be safe for them!

So the last few years we’ve gotten good at pulling weeds because we have vowed to not use chemicals around our house!👊

Last year we tried a homemade weed killer and it worked really good!

We combined:
Vinegar
Dawn Dish soap
Salt

We mixed it up in a sprayer and let the 12 year old have at it!☺️

Knowing it’s a better alternative and safer for our whole family makes me happy!

Here’s what we do:
Mix up the weed spray.
Spray when it’s sunny out.

By the next day the weeds are brown!

Here’s a truth nugget:

📣📣📣We can always find another way, we just have to spend time looking for it!

So many people are struggling right now!! I’m sorry if it’s a hard season you’re currently going through!
